A West Virginia Earthquake.

CHICAGO January IA Times special
from Huntington, w. Va, says About
week ago reports were received from
counties in the southern part OF the State
saving that loud detonations had been
heard and violent tremors of the earth
felt along the valley of Big Ugly run, a
tributary of the Guyandotte river. The
explosion occurred at night and pro
duced great CONSERVATION among the
people of the region, but no plausible
reason for them could be assigned. a
letter has Just been received from Lin
coin county, however, which explains the
mystery. The letter says that few days
ago, while lumbermen were floating logs
down Big Ugly creek, they came to an
obstruction which did not exist when
they passed up to cut the timber month
before. The bed OF the stream was COM
pletely filled with huge fragments of
stone, newly separated, while SINH
lar fragments were strewn among
the timber at the foot of the mountain,
down the side of which they had evil
IDENTIFY been rolled, as the timber and
underwood was much broken. The top
of the mountain, mainly on the side
toward the stream, showed huge crater
like scar, and the observers could see
large column of steam arising from II.
The lumbermen were afraid TO venture
up, but reported the discovery at Hamlin,
the county seat. The letter says the
whole country is excited over the matter
and it is regarded as the source OF the
tremors and explosions heard and felt.

How fha Race WAS Won.

The Tucson (Arizona) Citizen relates that
a short time ago great horse race was made
up between two bands of the PapaSo In
dians. Vast numbers Of cattle, ponies dogs,
tin cans, and other personal property were
wagered upon the result by both sides, ana
great crowds of Indians gathered upon tho
occasion. The race was run, and Miguel
crowbaits won the race TO the chagrin and
astonihment Of his Sonora cousin, and true
to their words the stakes were turned over
to him, and the defeated Papagoes walked
homeward, sadder but wiser aborlgines.

long ago it was reported that
General Hazen intended retiring from

had greatly improved. AT his request,
however, Captain A. w. Greely was or

better, and expected to resume his official
duties to-day. Yesterday morning, how

1t is somewhat peculiar, but the fact really
obtains. that such spasmOdic fluctuations as
we have lately experienced in this stock have
a bad effect gener1lly. Good stocks seem to
be inclined to advance. and with any increase
of speculative feeling, should do so, but
the public seem to hesitate when the balance
of trading is conspicuously concentrated in
one direction. The general undertone, how
